Love the language, super excited to see where it goes!
I'm writing a TUI application based on basic-cli (thanks @Luke Boswell for the package + example!)
Now, in my main loop, I want to wait for either a stdin message or a network message from a connection. Is that possible? Something like a "select!", I don't need multi treading.
I don't find anything in the platform docs
Brendan Hansknecht (Nov 16 2025 at 05:53):I don't think it is supported in current basic cli, but could be wrong. We should update the platform to add it.
Erik Karlsson (Nov 16 2025 at 06:31):Oh that unfortunate.
Maybe I can have a stab at implementing it. Any idea what the API would be?
Brendan Hansknecht (Nov 16 2025 at 19:04):I'm not sure in the case of current basic cli. I think they are both just serial rust requests. They would have to be turned into something smarter to be selectable.
Erik Karlsson (Nov 17 2025 at 01:34):Yeah, doesn't look like it will fit easily in to the current model. For now I'll vendor the platform and just hack on my own function :)
Erik Karlsson (Nov 17 2025 at 01:35):Also for the other end of this connection I'll need a tcp-server, which is also not supported and would probably require even more hacking :)
Brendan Hansknecht (Nov 17 2025 at 03:56):Hopefully that all goes smoothly!
